It seems that the disagreement between Dana White and Jon Jones is a thing of the past. Last Saturday (11), the legendary fighter attended UFC 329 , an event held in Las Vegas (USA), supported his protégé Gable Stevenson and had a brief meeting with the organization's president. And, apparently, the opportunity served to bring the pair closer together again.

Last Monday (13), Jones surprised everyone by sharing a photo with Dana on his official Instagram account. In the picture, the MMA legend praised the executive and expressed his gratitude to him. The curious thing is that 'Bones' and the businessman had been having disagreements.

The peak of the friction occurred when Dana White vetoed Jones from fighting Alex Poatan again at UFC White House in June, since Poatan had always dreamed of fighting in front of Donald Trump, the President of the United States and his idol. To make matters worse, the UFC president stated that if the Brazilian had beaten Ciryl Gane , he would have been the greatest fighter in MMA history, surpassing Jones, something that did not happen.

Furthermore, Jones, bothered by Dana's stance, didn't let it go and responded with irony. Now, the former UFC champion and the executive have shown that they have resolved their differences and are back on good terms.

"It changed my life. Always a great partner. No matter what happens."

Jones' fighters in MMA

Jon Jones , 38, made his mark in MMA, becoming the UFC light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) and heavyweight (up to 120,2 kg) champion. It's no wonder that the American is considered by many to be the greatest and best fighter in history. He began his career in the sport in 2008 and debuted in its biggest organization that same year.

In this discipline, 'Bones' built a record of 28 wins, one loss, and one 'no contest' (no result). His main victories were over Alexander Gustafsson (twice), Chael Sonnen , Ciryl Gane , Daniel Cormier , Dominick Reyes , Glover Teixeira , Lyoto Machida , Mauricio Shogun , Quinton ' Rampage ' Jackson, Rashad Evans , Ryan Bader , Stipe Miocic , Thiago Marreta , and Vitor Belfort.
